Joseph D'Souza said: 'If we are not intentional about bringing change and transformation in lives and societies it will not happen. To love people is to act on behalf of them.' This emphasis was taken up in the OM theme--'transforming lives and communities.'. p.176

-Verwer read a lot, his reflections on how 'down-to-earth' spirituality was to be worked out in mission drew on an eclectic mixture of writers: Tozer 'reverent scepticism'; Lewis , writing on pain; Schaeffer & Stott, an understanding of a 'dynamic tension, a balance between life and doctrine; David Seamands, on healing damaged emotions; Steve Chalked, on direction in leadership. "Breadth contributed to spiritual balance." p.195

-Bonnie Penner & Gary Witherall: "I'd like to say, I love Lebanon; I love her people and my hometown, Sidon, I'd like to start by thanking the people from Lebanon and from around the world for their e-mails, phone calls, and prayers.
Some people may think that the death of my wife was a waste. Bonnie and I came to Lebanon understanding only a small part of the pain this country has gone through, but we believed that coming with a message of Jesus which gives hope, love, and forgiveness would never be a waste. This is a message for hurting people in a suffering generation. And this message is worth laying down our lives for."
"It's a forgiveness that costs me everything that I am, but I can forgive bc I know God, through Jesus' blood, has forgiven me. The blood of Jesus was poured out for the sins of the world, and when Bonnie's [blood] poured across the clinic [floor] on Thursday morning, she showed the same love for the women of Sidon.' p.197
